First One Back in Town

Rob Clark

[Verse 1]
I left my cabin by the lake to take some fresh air
To put a little space between my love and me
I didn't know it'd be the last time that I'd see her
I wish that I had left things differently

[Chorus]
He didn't see me through the trees
Until I yelled when I heard her scream
And I saw her helpless body fallin' down
I couldn't get to her in time
She'll forever haunt my mind
But if the rock didn't kill, she'll surely drown
And now I've got to be the first one back in town

[Verse 2]
I didn't know her old man just got out of p[rison
Or that he blamed her for the hard time that he'd served
The peaceful sound of my horse splashin' on the water
Was shattered when I heard his violent [?]

[Chorus]
But he didn't fool me through the trees
Until I yelled when I heard her scream
And I saw her helpless body fallin' down
I couldn't get to her in time
She'll forever haunt my mind
But if the rock didn't kill, she'll surely drown
And now I've got to be the first one back in town

[Verse 3]
Please call the sheriff, if you hear me
If you see the sheriff try to flag him down
It's my life or death runnin' down this mountain
'Cause one of us gonna be buried in the ground

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
In that little mountain town she was a beauty
But her story wasn't known by many around
I fell in love with her and thought that we should marry
But she had a past that almost brought me down

[Chorus]
He didn't see me through the trees
Until I yelled when I heard her scream
And I saw her helpless body rollin' down
I couldn't get to her in time
She'll forever haunt my mind
But if the rock didn't kill, she'll surely drown
And now I've got to be the first one back in town

[Outro]
Oh, I've got to be the first one back in town
Oh, I've got to be the first one back in town
